We should eliminate property taxes while we're at it. If there's one thing you should own that nobody can take from you it should be your house. As long as you have to pay property taxes, it's nothing more than renting your land from the government.
In confused by the 16th amendment then, what does this mean if not that they can tax income? "The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."
Technically, "income" means "profit." With regards to the 16th amendment, only a corporation (a "legal entity" or "legal fiction" AKA not a natural person) can accumulate profit. A person engaged in trade, AKA a "like kind exchange," which includes the exchange of labor for other goods and services does not include any profit.
When you get into the exchange of money however (Federal Reserve Notes), things get a little more tricky. Exchanging FRNs for labor is not a like kind exchange because money has no value, on the contrary, it is a note of debt. It is kinda like negative value. Labor on the other hand has positive value. Exchanging something with negative value for something with positive value is not a "fair" exchange, and thus has different rules. Those rules (called the Tax Code) are up to the corporation that owns that "money" (the Federal Reserve). Or more specifically, their agency that makes all those rules, the private organization called the IRS. They dictate the rules of money. The Tax Code and Federal Law (illegally created, but "law" nonetheless) are sometimes congruent, but not always.
I think the way they manage it is because there may be a corporation, a trust, that is created in your name, through Social Security, and that is what is taxed. You are not subject to paying "income taxes" but the corporation, that has the same name as you, is. And you, as a signatory to your Social Security Number (or Taxpayer Identification Number) are legally bound to pay the taxes for that corporation.
I still need to figure out exactly how this is accomplished, but I think that is how it works.

That amendment was NEVER properly or lawfully ratified. It is as fraudulent as the last handful of elections.
Income tax and IRS are unconstitutional and always will be.
property tax = you don't own property, you rent it. because if you stop paying property tax the govt will take it away from you. do you call that ownership?
It's the same thing renting from an HOA. You don't pay their bullshit fines, they put a lien on your house. You don't pay the lien fast enough for them, they'll repo your house. They're basically a government. HOA's should be unconstitutional.
Most states have a way of collateralizing liens. Make a cash payment to the local court of 115% or so of the amount of the lien and it is now not encumbering your property. It is then up to the lien holder to figure out how to foreclose on the collateral. Which nobody seems to understand. And the timelines to do so are much shorter in this regard. Where I used to live, you got 2 years to do it or it goes away. Doesn’t mean you can’t still file suit over the money; just that you do not have any security interest in property while you do it. Some asshole contractor tried that shit on me. He never figured out how to get the money lol
Edit: forgot to add, after the 2 years is up with no action you get your collateral back
My Town apparently voted for local taxes. I remember they tried this 20 years ago. I don't think anybody ever filled it out and then they ended up doing way with it. I certainly won't be filling it out this time either.

No inheritance tax either. My kids shouldn’t have to lose out on my sacrifice because Uncle Sam wants to double dip.
Allof the. are unconstitutional. Government can only tax commerce.

Abolish the 16th!!!!! It is theft!!!

Why pay more than what the lien is?
Shut up. You’ll own nothing and be happy. Now eat your bugs.
Then people can quit complaining about Bill Gates buying up all the farmland, because he doesn't really own that, either. Can't have it both ways.

“Voted”
Worst most evil tax in my opinion.
